Chang Sun Chong nodded in response, then turned to the front, the red flag in his hand slipped down, "Fire!"
Boom...boom...
Two loud noises came from the two Shenwei cannons.
Carrying flames, the two cannonballs galloped out at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
just for a moment...
bang... bang...
Two loud explosions roared at the place where the shells landed, and billows of smoke rose from the land.
The powerful force made the ground tremble.
hum... hum...
Civil and military officials only felt their hearts tremble, their heads went blank, and their ears were buzzing.
It was like being hit by a bolt from the blue.
Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the boulder in the distance had already turned into debris and scattered in all directions.
Below the boulder is a big black pit that was blasted, and there are sporadic dead grass burning slowly around it.
Shock, the shock that came out of my heart.
The faces of Li Shimin and the civil and military officials seemed to be frozen at this moment, and there was nothing but shock and bewilderment in their eyes.
This shit is too nonsense, isn't it a weapon that humans can make?Such a big stone, said that it will be fried even if it is fried?Is this some kind of juggling?
If this blows up on a person, there probably won't even be scum left.
Whether it was Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing or Li Shimin, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
They couldn't believe it was true at all, they couldn't understand it.
They have never seen what kind of weapon they have ever seen, but this mighty cannon is a bit too fantasy.
"Cheng...Chengqian, don't use tricks to deceive me. Did you tamper with it in advance? Where...where would there be such a weapon."
Li Shimin was a little speechless, he had never lost his composure in such a long time as the emperor.
It was hard for him to imagine what would happen if the Xuanjia army was hit by such two shots.
After listening to Li Shimin's words, after being shocked, most people also showed doubting eyes.
But Li Chengqian can understand.
After all, this is a product of a cross-age era, and the span is a bit long. The most important thing is that the power of his Shenwei artillery is much stronger than that developed by later generations.
Li Chengqian looked at him and said in a low voice: "Father, do you think it is necessary for my son to deceive you with such things?"
"But...but this is too unreal. You must have buried something under the boulder in advance, or it is not a boulder at all. Anyway, you must have tampered with it somewhere."
From Li Shimin's point of view, this is definitely the most realistic idea.
Faced with Li Shimin's doubts, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry. It really took some time for them to accept this matter.
"Father, the power of the Shenwei artillery is really huge. You and the other adults can't accept it for a while. My son understands. Let's do this. You can choose the location and target at will, and the Shenwei team can just shoot. You can see that it's okay."
Li Chengqian was calm and calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, which made Li Shimin feel a little embarrassed.
He clearly showed his confidence.
"This……"
Li Shimin didn't answer, and fell into deep thought.
All the civil and military officials around turned their eyes to Li Shimin, waiting for his answer.
"Okay." Li Shimin looked up at Li Chengqian, this is indeed the only way.
Afterwards, he turned his head to look at all the civil and military officials, and said slowly, "Pharmacist, it's up to you to choose the place."
Li Jing is just and upright, Li Shimin can trust him.
"The last general takes orders." Li Jing stood up from the queue, stepped forward and cupped his hands.
He is a military general, the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses.
It is also extremely exciting to see such a powerful weapon.
Chapter 419
Outside the Shenwei School, three miles away.
Li Jing found two targets, a tree below the hillside and a flag planted above the hillside.
He searched for a long time in the school grounds, but it was wrong to search anywhere.
He did trust Li Chengqian, but Li Shimin refused to believe it was true, but everyone had no choice but to leave the school grounds.
"Your Majesty, do you think these two goals are safe?" Li Jing came to Li Shimin and asked.
Li Shimin took the binoculars from Li Jing's hand, scanned it around, and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, here it is."
Immediately, he turned his head to Li Chengqian again, "Chengqian, with these two targets, if your divine cannon can still exert such power, you will win this bet."
Li Chengqian nodded, "Father, you just wait and see."
moment……
Shenwei Group [-] and Shenwei Group [-] adjusted the artillery.
Pull the distance to the limit effective range, 500 meters.
All eyes were fixed on the trees at the bottom of the hillside and the flags on the hillside in the distance, for fear of missing this shocking moment.
Under Chang Sun Chong's order, the two cannons fired together, and two shells burst out from the bore.
Boom...boom...
Accompanied by two loud bangs, billows of smoke rose from the shelling site.
The entire hillside trembled, and flying stone fragments flew in all directions through the smoke and dust.
moment……
After the smoke and dust passed, the poplar tree had been blown to slag, and the flag had also been blown to ashes under the bombardment of artillery fire.
Silence, deathly silence.
After the divine power of the Shenwei Cannon was revealed this time, no one questioned it anymore. This power is real.
The bet between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian has no meaning at this moment, it has nothing to do with winning or losing, this thing is too shocking.
Li Shimin thought to himself just now, if this mighty cannon is really so powerful, then the army of the Tang Dynasty will sweep the world, I wonder which army can withstand the bombardment of this thing.
Although he was confident that Li Chengqian's two mighty cannons would not be able to kill his Thousand Xuanjia Army, and he would definitely win in the end.
But after all, this is a bet between father and son.
When it comes to the real battlefield, it is multi-armed joint operations, and the disadvantages of Shenwei artillery will not be so obvious when other arms make up for it.
And to use this thing to attack the city, what kind of ladders and catapults are used.
If there were one hundred and eighty Shenwei cannons, after a round of firepower covered them, the city gate would definitely be blown to pieces.
Not to mention the power of the Shenwei artillery, the shock alone can make the enemy collapse. After all, this thing is really terrifying.
"I... I'm not dreaming, is this... this thing is real? Such a long distance, such a strong destructive power, is really unheard of, never seen before."
"This... this is too unbelievable, it is simply a fantasy, how can there be such a powerful weapon in the world, and who else can rival my Great Tang in the future."
"I just said that His Highness the Crown Prince came prepared. If you still don't believe me, how could His Highness the Crown Prince deceive everyone, and how could he bother to deceive everyone?"
"Shenwei artillery is very powerful, but whether it can be mass-produced is a key issue. If it cannot be mass-produced, it will not be of much use on the battlefield."
All civil and military officials looked at the two mighty cannons and talked a lot, all of them were amazed.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin who was on the side, and said indifferently: "How about father, the power of this Shenwei cannon is justified."
"It makes sense, it makes sense too much." Li Shimin kept nodding his head, but he hadn't completely recovered his thoughts.
At this time, Li Shimin had countless fantasies in his mind, how Datang's military strength would be improved because of the Shenwei artillery.
Maybe the pattern of war in the world will be changed because of the appearance of Shenwei artillery.
"Chengqian, can this Shenwei artillery be mass-produced? How about the cost?" Li Shimin looked up at Li Chengqian, and he had already forgotten about the gambling.
The words fall...
All civil and military officials turned their heads to Li Chengqian, this was also their concern.
Especially Li Jing, who looked at Li Chengqian expectantly, looking forward to his answer.
This is related to whether the Shenwei artillery can really be used in the Datang army.
Li Chengqian replied calmly, "Mass production is possible, and the cost is within our acceptable range."
After listening to him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha..." Li Shimin laughed wildly: "God bless me Tang, God bless me Tang, I never thought that God gave me such an excellent son, so happy! So happy!"
At this time, Li Shimin was happy from the bottom of his heart.
The role of Shenwei artillery is self-evident in military affairs.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is holy! Your Royal Highness is holy!"
Civil and military officials all bowed their hands to congratulate.
I envy Li Shimin for giving birth to such an excellent son.
Li Chengqian's imagination and creativity are unparalleled and unique.
Such a powerful weapon must have been extremely difficult to create.
"His Royal Highness, how do you plan to use this mighty artillery, whether to distribute it to each army, or form a separate army."
Li Jing stepped forward and asked Li Chengqian.
Now this is his most concerned issue, who would not desire an army with such weapons.
If the two armies are at war, tens of thousands of Shenwei artillery will cover the enemy's position with firepower.
This scene is really unimaginable.
A pot of steel broth, a sea of fire, or a pile of dust.
Or when attacking a city, a few rounds of shelling will be launched first to directly break the enemy's mentality.
It is hard to imagine what kind of army in the world can withstand the bombardment of the Shenwei artillery, and what kind of weapon can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Shenwei artillery.
Li Chengqian responded: "I plan to set up a Shenwei army alone to cooperate with the joint operations between various arms, enrich the combat system of the Tang army, and enhance the overall strength of the Tang army."
"In the future, regardless of whether it is a big battle or a small battle, we will cover a few rounds with artillery fire before fighting."
Li Jing cupped his hands and responded: "The end will be known."
Li Shimin asked from the side: "Chengqian, after the formation of the Shenwei Army..."
Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Royal father, don't worry, all the military expenses of the Shenwei Army will be borne by the ministers alone, and they will not ask for a penny from the royal father."
As soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, Li Chengqian knew what he was thinking. Li Chengqian could only tell him that there was no way.
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Look at what your child is saying, isn't he a heretic, it doesn't matter who pays the money."
"If you are short of money, just tell me, and I will order the Ministry of Accounts to allocate some money for the production of Shenwei artillery for you."
"If you encounter any difficulties, I will solve them for you as soon as possible, and the family does not talk about each other."
"After all, this Shenwei cannon belongs to our Li family and belongs to Datang."
Chapter 420 It's not easy for my son to refute your face, isn't it
Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Shimin.
Look at how his cheap father said the most brazen words in the most flat tone.
